The tremendous purses that the Coney Island Athletic Club and the Crescent City Athletic Club are oflering to Hall and Fitzsimmons for a fight at one of these clubs are just now the talk of the sporting world. The Coney Island Club yesterday offered to put up $26,000 to secure a meeting between these two men at its house, and to-day it has raised the amount to f 3d, 000. This is the largest sum ever offered to any two men to meet in the prize ring. Judge ifewton, of the Coney Island Club, called upon President Xoel, of the Crescent City Club, at the St. James Hotel this morning an d had a talk with him in regard to the size of the purse the New Orleans Club was willing to offer. The sum of . 530,000 was mentioned, and Judge Newton asked: "If we give Fitzsimnions and Hall 36,000, what in heaven's name will we have to pay for the Corbett-Mitchell ar gument?" "That's just the point," replied Presi dent NoeL -The Crescent City Club," he went on, "practically had the Fitzsimmons Hall fight, but the Coney Island Club kept raising our figures, and we only met them in justice to the Centers. We are not anxious to pay over $20,000." "Can't we come to some understanding in the matter?" asked Newton. President Noel suggested that neither club make a bid lor the tight until Saturday at 1 o'clock. That, he said, would give them time to decide upon the largest amount they could give in justice to them selves. Judge Newton, it is reported, agreed to this and the two men then parted. This was at 11 o'clock. About an hour later Bob Fitzsinimons rushed into Presi dent Noel's apartments and said that Judge Newton had offered him $36,000 to get the fight for the Coney Island Athletic Club. "Now, what will yo, offer?" asked Fitz sinimons. "Not a cent," replied Noel. "Judge Newton and I agreed not to make a bid until Saturday. If he has broken hij word, it will not affect my action. I gave him my word of h'onor that I would not make an offer until Saturday and I won't, even if I lose the fight," "When Mr. Noel was seen by an Associ ated Press reporter this evening, he seemed at a loss to understand Judge Newton's conduct "Perhaps the fighters," he said, "fooled him with the story that 1 had ol lered 534,000, and that he would have to bid 530,000 to get the prize. At any rate," slid Sir. Noel, '! don't like his actions." Judge Newton said that he had violated no trust. If 536,000 is paid for the Fitz-simmons-Hall fight it will cost a fortune to secure the Corbett-Mitchell affair. It is probable that the place of meeting for both of these fights will be decided upon to morrow. STATE COLLEGE SOYS. They Will Be Here To-Morrow to Play the East End Gyms. To-morrow afternoon at S:30 o'clock the Stato College team will lino up against the P. A. C. eleven, and an hour and n half or excitement will lollow.

A week or two ago it was stated in this paper that at the late meeting of the mag nates in New Yorkuuiform action regarding the signing of players was decided on. The following dispatch from Louisville contains Interesting news on tuis matter. It says: Every player In tbe Louisville team has been reserved for next season. Aside from the League magnates tbemi elves and tbe players this fact was heretoforo unknown It has leaked out that much more was done by the League magnates at the last meeting In New York than has been generally known or suspected. In fact tbe club ownets re solved to complete business while it was 4tlll in the base ball active season, and alive the drawbacks of the closing season made jrlyull the arrangements for next year except the routine business saved for the annu-aJ meeting beginning the 16tb or this , jiionth.

IF THE POPDLITES ARE IK POWER They Will Trefer the Republican to the Present Incumbent. A DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY C0XCEDED FROM A STAFP CORRESFOITOEXT.I "Washington, Not. a The headquar ters of the Congressional Committee have about closed out business. A negro, a bony eld horse and two bags carried the mail from Republican headquarters to-day. Only a iew employes remain at each of the head quarters, and these are preparing to find other work. The precincts are quiet, almost gloomy, compared with the life and bustle of the past two months. They at least were spots on the face of the Bepublic where the Mc Kinley bill did not affect business unfavor ably. They are old stands where business has been carried on lor years, but it is a fact, demonstrable by figures that will not lie, that business was never so prosper ous before. The volume of product and distribution nas never so great. The correspondent of The DISPATCH was told at the headquarters of the Republican Committee to-day that upward of 30,000,000 documents were printed, sent out either here or at New York, and from local points distributed to the homes of the iarmers, mechanics and laborers who" are supposed to be the persons most ueediDg education as to why they should vote tor the grand old party. Lots of Mental Confusion. As the Democratic Committee distributed about the same number of documents, but ot a very different quality, so, lar as argu ments go, and to very much the same classes, and undoubtedly to the same per sons in a great degree, the amount ot mental contusion as to which side is right can hardly be imagined. The lact remains that never bclore in the historv of the country has so energetic a "campaign of education" been carried to a triumphant conclusion, aud the hard-worked clerks and the harder worked political enthusiasts who gave much of their services gratuitously are breathing long sighs of relief to think that not for two years will their labors begin again. Beside the tremendous work ot printing and distribution, the committee have kept close track ot the movements in the Con gressional districts. The net result is a greater amount ot confusion of mind in re gard to the result of the Congressional elec tions than has been known tor long years. At the close ot the campaign this confusion is heightened rather than dissipated, on ac count of the new daily deals between the Third party people and one or the other of the old parties. These are considered cer tain to reduce the Democratic representa tion more than the .Republican, and it is generally admitted now that the prospects are good for the control of tbe House by the votes ol the members ot the People's party. Figures of the Republicans. The plain figures of the Eepublican com mittee in these last moments are that the next "House will consist of 160 Republi cans, 166 Democrats and ,30 members of the People's party. The Democrats claim majority of from 50 to 60, including members of the Third party, who, they assert, are sure to act with them. This is much be yond the claims of the Democratic leaders in private, however, for they admit that they will be lucky it they secure a majority of 16 over the Republicans, exclusive oi Third party members with Democratic proclivities. The closest observers, on both sirles, who are not talking for effect, admit that the eleventh-hour deals make it as near certain as anything can be that has not come to pass, that the members oi the Third party will have absolute control over the deliber ations ot the House of the Fitty-third Con gress. To what grand heights of legislation this will lead no one attempts "to depict. Both ides will flirt with the middle, and the only sure thing is that the minority will be able to get almost anything it wants in the way of lavors. t One of the things not least likely to hap pen is that the Third party people, in case thev hold the balance of rower, will sun- port Tom Reed lor the Speakership, as the man who is most hated by the Democrats, but also the man who was always kind to them, and who cave them many a word of advice in their vigorous onslaughts on the Democrats in this Congress. Leaders of Contrary Opinions. Many Republicans are of the opinion that it would be better that the Democrats should have a clear majority, and thus be responsible lor all legislation, rather than that they should be able to do all sorts of financial and tariff deviltry and blame it on the Third party. But this is not the view ol the shrewdest of the leaders. The one hope of the continued disintegra tion of the Solid South is in the perpetua tion and growth of the new party. The Republicans are fostering this growth in every possible way. ahey sincerely hope for such success of the Third nartv neonle as will give them the balance ot power, and believe that in return for tbe invaluable as sistance rendered them they will rote for a Republican for Speaker. With Tom Reed in the chair, it is easy to imagine what opportunities would be given the Third party people to annoy their ene mies, and that Reed would in a thousand cunning ways foster the animosity between the two bodies. The Republican leaders do not seem to stop to consider what course the Third party would take in legislation. The present thought is wholly for political advantage. If the day of legislative evil is to come it will be sufficient unto itself. No matter if the Third party go farther than the Demo cratic party in the direction of free silver and free trade, that stream can be crossed when it is reached. The Senate Nope Too Soli I. "With the Republicans and the Populists practical allies in political battle outside, it can hardly be feared But that some way would be found to work together for thn common good inside of the House. This ii the reasoning of the leaders who are anxinnn the Third party should secure the balance of power. But they admit there is such a thine as carrying the balance of power too far, and one place the Republicans desire that it shall stop is on the hither side ot the Senate. Many of the leaders in this citv are to day expressing grave fears that the" legisla tive outlook presages the election of enough Democrats and Populists to that body in place of Republicans whose terms expire on the 4th ol March to put the bal once of power in the Senate into the hands of the Populists. It is a fact that they are ot the belief that this is quite probable to happen if the Legislatures of some of the Democratic States, such as West ViririniiL New Jersey, or Delaware, cannot be cap tured. To this end much attention has been given to the legislative contests in those States. It is hoped confidently that the Legislature or one or more of them will be carried. Some of the Strange Possibilities. "With the anxiety of the Republicans that the Populists shall have the balance of -power in the House, since they themselves cannot hope to win a msjority, their ardor for assisting their disintegrating power would be much dampened if that balance ot power should extend to the Senate, and it the worst would happen at the same time and Cleveland be elected to the Presidency) a really distressing situation would con front the Republicans, whose impregnable bulwark has been the Senate, in days when the House, and for four years the adminis tration were in the hands of the Democrats. These are some of the strange possibilities that confront the Republicans, and with, as they think, a certainty that the Third party will hold tbe balance of power In the House, they are bending themselves all the more heroically to the task of preventing a similar condition in tbe Senate, and, of course, against the direst possibility ot all, the loss of tbe administration. IT IS INDORSED AGAIN. Woods' Bun Citizens Bally on the Bond Issue Question David B. Oliver Makeja Bousing Speech, "Which Carries the Day In Its Favor. . Two hundred persons attended the meet ing in Hartman's Hall, on Preble avenue, Allegheny, last evening to discuss the bond issue question. Gilbert G. Follansbee was elected Chairman, and T. G. Jones, Secre tary. On the call for remarks, F. F. Dim ming said he was opposed to" the issue of the bonds, because he did not know where or how tbe money was going to be spent Christopher Gerber was in favor of tbe bonds, and did not believe the water to be as bad as claimed. The "improvements in question, are needed, and he is willing to trust councils in expenuing loe money. Richard Millard and J. B. Kennedy were of the, same opinion. Mr. Kennedy said that Councils could manage affairs well and the citizens who can't trust them should go to Dixmont. James Shipman was opposed to the bond issue because the people had been deceived in lormer years by Councils and he didn't trust them now. D. B. Oliver said he was in favor of such improvements as would lilt Allegheny from its present backward condition. There was no use denying the fact that Allegheny was going behind. He did not mean that ft was not improving, but it was nothing as com pared to Pittsburg. The census of 1890 showed that in ten years the increase in Pittsburg was 60 per cent In Allegheny the increase was only 30 per cent Since 1890 they wera going behind much faster. Some of their best people were going to the East End. He said further: "Anyone going along the main streets in the residence part of our city and seeing the number of empty houses cannot fail to see this. We have natural advantages ifl our own outer wards incomparably in advance of the East Eud.but our people and Councils have been so niggardly in their expenditures,and so slow in opening and improving streets and avenues, that our advantages are lost to us and our people are leaving us. Our water supply is simply a disgrace to our city and ought not to be tolerated." Several other speeches were made after which Mr. Oliver moved that it be the sense of the meeting that all good citizens favor the improve ments for their city and vote on election day for the money to pay for them. The question was called and the motion almost unanimously adopted. Only two voted no. BirriKG OUT A CLBCUS. An Offer Made for a Collection of Animals for the Schenley Zoo. Chief Bigelow expects to add a good col lection of animals to the Schenley Pare Zoo in a few days. Some time ago he re ceived an offer for tbe entire stock of a circus which had closed the season at New Castle. On an inspection of tbe menagerie the Chief was much pleased with all except ing a pair of elephants, which he decided were too old to be ot any use. A pair of lions of great beauty, six monkeys, a zebra, a camel, a panther, a hyena and a number of bright plumaged tropical birds were part of the collection, and the Chief decided to buy them if the Mayor and Controller would agree. Yesterday they conferred and agreed upon a figure. It is considered a reasonable one, and the Chiet expects a favorable reply to his letter sent yesterday.
